The reborn sycophant

"Do you know what I thought after hearing the news that my concubine was injured?"

The torches on the shelf by the wall were burning brightly, but the fragrance of turpentine could not suppress the bloody smell in the dungeon. Shadows danced on the wall, and there was a voice crying for grievances from afar.Zhao Ji leaned against the wall, looking at the dark corner, his eyes were slightly red.

"I was thinking, is it in your hearts that I have never grown up and I have never been able to take care of things?"

Wei Chuyan looked at her and gradually frowned.

She and the imperial concubine kept this matter from Zhao Ji because of many considerations.Everything else was fine, but what they were most worried about was that after Zhao Ji knew about the adventure of this plan, he would intentionally not lure the second princess and the seventh prince to the forest from the very beginning, and stop all these plans at the starting point.For this day, she has planned for almost half a year, starting from helping the Seventh Prince take charge of the warehouse of the spring search, to guiding the second prince to make a plan to assassinate in the spring search, and at the same time control the evidence that Zhao Chen stole the arrows, In the end, I confirmed with my own eyes that the assassin had entered the forest, and it could be said that he led the prey over step by step. This was the best and most rare opportunity.

"Afraid that I won't cooperate, are you?"

In the past few days in prison, Zhao Ji thought a lot by herself. She already understood the intentions of Wei Chuyan and Concubine Mu, but emotionally, it was still difficult for her to accept this crazy plan.But in fact, what hurt her the most was not the plan itself, but Wei Chuyan and the others' behavior of concealing her.

"Your Highness, you are also the one who uses yourself as a bait, so you should understand the painstaking efforts of the empress." Wei Chuyan looked at her, and took out a small package from his arms: "Before the empress fell into a coma, she said, if you ask about this , so I tell you, "Ji'er, you have learned to calculate others, and you have also learned to be cruel to others, but you must always remember that the most realistic calculation is to include yourself in it. You can As bait to enter Dali Temple, the concubine mother can also use herself as a bargaining chip for another round, our plan is not a trivial matter, first of all we have to be cruel to ourselves'."

After hearing this, Zhao Ji turned his head to look at Wei Chuyan for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What did you bring?"

Wei Chuyan unfolded the package for her to see: "It's a dagger and a life-saving pill. Your second sister has no time to deal with you recently. After you were taken away that day, Habayashi guard searched less carefully, but His Royal Highness probably suspected that it wasn't you, so we sent a few experts to search again in the woods, and we took advantage of the opportunity to hand over the assassin to Brother Seven. If the assassin fell into the hands of His Highness Seven, of course he couldn't go back, you two My sister is in a hurry to get angry, but she doesn't dare to search extensively, so she probably doesn't have the heart to deal with you now. As for your seventh brother, he hasn't moved recently, but since the assassin is already with him, it depends on whether he wants you to die or not. I want the second princess to die... But if he wants to suppress you and kill you, we have other means to reverse the case, so you don't have to worry. But your elder brother still has to be on guard, he has been silent for so long, although Keep a low profile, but your eyes are always on the court, and your imprisonment this time is an opportunity for him."

"One, two, seven, eleven. There are only a few His Highness Qianyang Jun in Da Qi. To put it bluntly, even if it is brotherly killing or rebellion, if there is only one His Highness left in the end, then His Majesty will only You can stand that man. Now that you are in prison, you just gave them a chance to attack, so be careful from now on."

Zhao Ji walked over, grabbed the thing in his hand, Wei Chuyan pressed her hand, and said: "Be vigilant at all times, this silver needle can be used to test poison, it will be harder these few days, we will place it in the The people in Dali Temple will try their best to protect you. In a few days, the second child and the seventh child should fight, and if there is chaos outside, the defense here will be relaxed, so you must be more careful to protect yourself."

Zhao Ji looked down at Wei Chuyan's hand, and responded. When Wei Chuyan lowered the brim of his hat and was about to leave, he hooked Chuyan's fingers and sighed slightly: "In the future... Don't hide things from me. Tell me clearly, I won't show my temper. "

Wei Chuyan's finger was hooked by her, and it felt a little cold. For the first time, Chuyan didn't try to shake off Zhao Ji, but gently curled up his finger and wrapped it around the little finger.

In the air, there is some faint emotion breeding.

"Understood, I won't hide it from you in the future."

"You liar. You've said that to me eight hundred times, but when have you ever done it?"

"This 'liar', you have scolded me [-] times and bit me [-] times."

After these words, the girl who was thinner but still looked particularly good-looking suddenly smiled, and there seemed to be a bad water brewing in those beautiful peach eyes.

Seeing her like this, Wei Chuyan knew what she wanted to do, raised his eyebrows, and immediately withdrew his hand.

"What are you hiding, come here and give me a bite."

"It hurts to bite you."

"Will you give it?"

In the flickering lights, separated by an iron fence, Wei Chuyan struggled for a while, but couldn't bear Zhao Ji's talking eyes, so he stretched out his hand.

Then, a sharp pain came, and with a wry smile on her lips, she withdrew her hand and saw that she had been bitten again.

"If you take a few more bites like this, even if I have strong resilience, I will inevitably leave marks due to repeated wounds."

"It's good to leave a mark." After hearing this, Zhao Ji immediately decided to find a chance to take a few more bites in the future.

Wei Chuyan smiled, at this moment there was the sound of knocking chains outside, she knew the time was up, so she straightened her clothes and hat, and when she was about to leave, she was stopped by Zhao Ji again.

"I know that you will monitor Dali Temple outside, and I also know that someone will come to assassinate me, but you may block it from outside. I want you to promise me one thing now, don't refuse me, and don't try to persuade me, We're running out of time, I know that."

Zhao Ji grabbed the corner of her clothes and whispered behind her: "You have to let one or two assassins in."

Wei Chuyan froze for a moment, then nodded silently amidst the increasingly rapid knocking outside.After taking two steps, she heard Zhao Ji say from behind: "Wei Chuyan, do you think...everything will go well?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Of course it will.I'm here, A Ji.

With the words he couldn't say, Wei Chuyan reconciled with that person, and they walked out together along the way they came.It was still the gloomy and damp road, with the same musty smell, but the bite wound on his hand became more vivid at this moment, and on the contrary dispelled some other memories.

Later, the pain in the tiger's mouth also dissipated, and what she remembered was the soft and slightly cold feeling when the girl gently hooked her fingers.

Walking out of Dali Temple, there was someone behind him poking his head. Wei Chuyan pretended not to see it, and turned to the side alley, which gradually disappeared.So not long after, the news that Wan Guifei's people had visited His Highness in prison reached His Majesty's ears.

"The accompanying reader on Eleventh is called Wei Chuyan, right? Wei Pingnan's granddaughter?"

Six or seven days had passed, and the emperor looked very calm at the moment. He sat in the imperial study and looked through the results of the interrogation at Dali Temple, mainly looking at the details of the interrogation that day. When he saw Zhao Ji's reaction, he pointed his finger It was a meal, and then showed an unpredictable smile.

"Yes, Wei Chuyan's father is a married woman, so she is the eldest daughter of the Wei family's generation, but Wei Pingnan doesn't value her very much, and their eldest wife was kicked out of Wei's mansion just this year. I will check it out. I got the official documents, saying that the big house of the Wei family has already been separated."

"That is to say, there is nothing to rely on behind this child." Zhao Yu looked at the secret letter handed over by Qian Xiao, the commander of the Yulin Army, with a clear expression: "No wonder he is so loyal to Eleven. This person who is at the forefront of the storm dares to go to prison look at her."

"Your Majesty, Wei Chuyan is in vain of the king's law, do you need me to get him?"

"No need, after all, she is a young man, and she still can't hold her breath. She went to see Ji'er in the prison, and she was loyal to protect the lord. Didn't you say that there was only one more dagger in Eleven's place later? She might just go I’m sending this away, because I’m afraid someone will harm Shi Shi.” Zhao Yu leaned on the dragon chair, and he was still smiling a moment ago, but now he changed his face, and his expression turned cold: “Go, send some more people to work in Dali. Standing guard outside the temple, I want to see if someone is really going to do that brother-in-law thing."

After Qian Xiao took his order, Zhao Yu said again: "The matter that I asked you to investigate the day before yesterday, there is a result."

Zhao Yu is not an idiot emperor. When he saw Zhao Ji's arrow that day, he realized that it was deceitful. He deliberately put on such a furious expression, and sent Shi Yi to prison, in order to let the real murderer relax his vigilance. , showing his feet, and secondly, Concubine Wan Gui was hit by an arrow and fell into a coma. He was worried that the sky would be overturned on the eleventh day, so he simply locked him in Dali Temple, which also played a protective role.

As a result, before the murderer was caught, the ministers couldn't wait to ask him to have a trial on the eleventh day. After thinking about it, none of the ministers who stood up at this time were clean!It's just that I don't know which emperor's son it is, or...everyone has fallen into trouble.

"Returning to Your Majesty, we checked the records in the treasury and learned that His Highness the Eleventh received a total of twenty arrows that day. When she was brought back, there were still sixteen arrows left in her quiver, seven of which were stained with blood. It was shot after hunting rabbits. As for the other four of the twenty arrows, two were stuck in the eyes of a yellow-spotted tiger, and two were on the foxes sent back earlier. Therefore, the twenty arrows of His Royal Highness the Eleventh Arrow Not a single arrow was missed, the arrow used by the assassin should have been extra."

Qian Xiao checked several times before and after, and now he spoke clearly, and Zhao Yu's expression became colder after hearing this.
